We were at the lake to celebrate my father's 90th birthday and a few special anniversaries. We had 10 people staying very comfortably and there is room for more! The cottage is charming and lovingly maintained. There are lovely dishes in the dining cabinets and ample kitchen supplies-pots, pans, utensils, etc. A nice stereo in the dining room supplied our music and the tv was helpful for our rain day. We enjoyed many games around the table. THe lakeside porch and the lake views are the obvious stars of this property, as well as the quiet, family location. The porch is perfect with rockers and wooden porch furniture, pretty blue cushions and commanding views. We sat there early morning and late into the night, just listening to the water lap the dock and the shore. There is a long dock with a bench at the end for sitting and enjoying the lake. A ladder at the end, where the water is 3 or 4' deep, allows easy entry to the lake. The kids and young adults enjoyed floating in the lake and cooling off in the heat. Although there are some very effective ceiling fans in the living room and lakeside bedrooms, if your forecast is for heat, consider bringing a few of your own with some extension cords. We would most definitely stay here again and all the people who visited us during the week loved the location and the house.

Beautiful location, quiet street and wonderful views of the lake. The large front porch with views of the lake is where we spent a large portion of our time! Plenty of room for entire family (6 adults and 2 teens).

The owners have kept much of the historical charm of this turn of the century Chatauqua Lake summer home. When there was a mechanical issue (beyond their control) they were extremely responsive and took care of the issue immediately. The kitchen appliances and bathrooms (although modern) would benefit from updating. There are plenty of pots, pans, utensils, The matresses are all newer and very comfortable. Three of the bedrooms only have electical plugs in the ceiling light socket so extension cords were necessary to plug in fans and phones (etc) which our teens could not go without. We loved the screened porch, the large yard (especially the rock FROG), and the dock (we rented a pontoon boat). And we had a wonderfully relaxing old fashioned family vacation.

We enjoyed our vacation caught fish it was great for our family of 10

I normally vacation at a family cottage near the ocean but my mother had passed away earlier that year and I thought it would be nice have a family get together to bury her ashes and remember her. I came across this house when searching for a place to stay online and realized it was in the same quiet neighborhood my mom grew up in. In fact my grandfather owned the Pine Hill motel for years and years. Square footage wise it seemed small so I was afraid it would be too cramped for us. At one point we had 5 adults and two kids in the house. We never felt cramped. The screened in porch is AMAZING! Its big and has TONS of sitting. We went in August but it was downright cold that week and we got to use the fireplace. So cozy! It definitely has a cottage feel so don't expect a gourmet kitchen or anything. There are three original bedrooms and a finished off second floor porch which acts as 2 bedrooms (perfect for kids). I had cocktails at the house before dinner on the day of the burial and I had 18 people in the house and it didn't seem crowded at all. The frontage on the lake huge for a cottage. There are so many nice touches to this place (like plenty of throws and they have spices they leave out in the kitchen) . We had a perfect week! I may be slightly biased as being so close to my mother's childhood home certainly did not hurt in endearing the cottage to me. Thank you to the owners for allowing rentals of their amazing cottage!
